"They did an excellent job and the pool looks brand new again. The workers were knowledgeable and very quick. It was a total of 8 days of their work before we could put water back in the pool. Their customer service responses to my wife's questions were less than satisfactory but the actual work performed on site was good. They do need to get some better telephone help especially at these prices."

"I saw their deal on this site and called Bill to get more information. He quickly assessed my project and scheduled my paint job for less than a week later. Bill and his team arrived today and did a great job. They prepped very neatly and carefully and did a great job cleaning up after a job well done. The job took less time than expected so Bill even sanded and primed a piece of furniture I wanted to paint. Very happy with the whole experience."

"They installed a solar system on my mother's home. It was a smooth installation, with plenty of communication and very professional attention to detail.  I have recommended them to several neighbors.  One of my neighbors has had a nightmare experience  with their installer.  I can't rave enough about how easy my experience was.

"I never give a 100% review to any company because nothing and no one is ever perfect but in this case I would go so far as to give 97%. The end result was great and they made my pool look brand new. 100% kudos to the worker who gingerly cut away from the tiles I wanted to keep. His attention to detail was amazing and he did most of it on his belly, on the hottest day of the summer. In hindsight I feel guilty and should have just gutted the entire thing and chosen new tile. I apologize to them for my fool hearty choice. That said it was a job beautifully done. I decided to add a safety handle by the steps into the pool, since our friends are getting older and need something to hold onto while entering and exiting the pool. Completion of this took longer than hoped for, presumably due to unavailability, but once received and installed it was done well. The team worked well together and I think they did a reasonable job with daily clean up. Other than the safety bar installation, the job was completed in a timely fashion and the project manager, James, was a good and timely communicator, something very important in my opinion. We waited too long to address this resurfacing job and considering that we didn’t commit until late in the pool season, mid summer, we were pleased that the job was done relatively fast so we still got some swim time in. Looking forward to summer 2025 to reap the reward of the teams hard work. I would not hesitate to hire James and his team again. If you hire them I hope you have the same good experience."

"

The pool related tasks were of very high quality, but the concrete deck work was sub-par, including excessive cracking, poor color matching and poor quality sealing of concrete that resulted in a lot of white haze on the deck (my guess is that the sealer was drying before they applied it). 

It was very difficult to get hold of anyone who knew what was going on with respect to the schedule.  There was a lot of wasted weeks between activities with no apparent explanations.  Overall, frustrating to work with, though again, the quality of the pool work was great (tile, plaster, plumbing, new equipment install).

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

A pool builder can advise you on the best design for your property and vision, and can walk you through the process from design to a swim-ready pool. Knowing which questions to ask a pool builder can help ensure you choose the right person for the job.

The total time to install an inground pool typically ranges from 8 weeks to 4 months. This timeline can be influenced by several factors, including permitting, site preparation, and the construction process itself.

Key phases and their typical durations include:

  • Permits: Obtaining necessary permits can take anywhere from two to six weeks.

  • Excavation and Site Preparation: This phase takes about a week but can be extended by problematic soil, unexpected ground conditions, or the need to move underground utility lines.

  • Construction: The actual build, including plumbing and electrical work, often takes one to two months. The pool material is a major factor here; a concrete pool needs about 30 days to cure, while installing a fiberglass or vinyl liner is much faster.

External factors can also cause significant delays:

  • Contractor Availability: Spring and summer are busy seasons, and high demand can lead to long waitlists, potentially adding months to your start date. It is often recommended to start planning and getting estimates up to a year in advance.

  • Other Delays: Weather, material shortages, complex designs, and other unforeseen challenges can extend the project timeline.

When looking into fiberglass vs. concrete pools, you will notice a big price difference. A fiberglass pool costs $15,000 to $75,000, whereas a concrete pool costs $35,000 to $100,000. While concrete pools are customizable, fiberglass is faster to install and requires less maintenance. Additionally, you can expect to pay $25,000 to maintain a concrete pool over a ten-year span. On the other hand, a fiberglass pool only requires basic maintenance like testing water levels and cleaning.

If your pool takes longer than one or two days to fill, you might be dealing with low water pressure. Using a water pressure gauge on your outdoor tap, you can check your water pressure. A reading of 40 psi or below is considered low. A leak, a nearby water shutoff, or several other reasons could cause this. 

If the water pressure isn’t a problem, you could have a low flow rate from clogs, corroded pipes, or other plumbing issues. It’s best to call in a local plumber to get to the root of the issue.

The generator in your saltwater pool conversion kit transforms sodium chloride—the same salt as table salt—into chlorine. A process called electrolysis sends electricity through the water to interact with the chlorine ion. This ultimately creates the chlorine that keeps your pool safe and clean. The cell in your saltwater chlorine generator is the part that converts the salt into chlorine.
